Nearby corporations include Kimberly-Clark, Sysco, and TVA. Within walking distance are Cracker Barrel, Starbucks, Hooters, Applebee's, and other chain restaurants. The Knoxville Zoo, World's Fair Park, Neyland Stadium, and Thompson-Boling Arena are a short drive away, and Dollywood and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are within an hour. Free on-site parking makes car travel straightforward, but no airport shuttle is available.

Every suite includes a full-size refrigerator, two-burner cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, and utensils. Living areas have sofa sleepers in some units, and a selection of rooms offer balconies, work desks, or connecting doors. Bed options include one or two queen beds; two-room suites separate the bedroom from the living area. Non-smoking rooms are available on the first floor, while smoking rooms are on the fifth floor. Rooms facing the interstate may experience traffic noise; interior units are quieter. The property shows some cosmetic wear, and cleaning standards can vary - inspecting the room on arrival and reporting concerns is advisable.

Dining

A free continental breakfast is served daily from 6 to 9 a.m., featuring muffins, bagels, yogurt, boiled eggs, cereal, coffee, and juice.
Breakfast is a continental selection with limited variety; items may run out near the end of the service window. The hotel has no restaurant, bar, or room service. Several restaurants are within a five-minute walk, including Cracker Barrel, Hooters, and Starbucks, offering additional dining options. The fully equipped kitchen in each suite provides an alternative for preparing meals.
